Save Our Forest
Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) is meant to promote afforestation and regeneration activities as a way of compensating for forest land diverted to non-forest uses.
About CAMPA
CAMPA was created to ensure that funds collected for compensatory afforestation, net present value (NPV) and interest of forest land, and other forest-related purposes are effectively utilized for the restoration and development of forest ecosystems.
It operates under the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, 2016, which provides a legal framework for the collection, management, and utilization of these funds. The CAMPA Act aims to minimize the impact of forest land diversion for non-forest purposes by ensuring that funds are promptly, efficiently, and transparently released and utilized through a well-defined institutional mechanism.
- Lay down broad guidelines for State CAMPA.
- Facilitate scientific, technological and other assistance that may be required by State CAMPA.
- Make recommendations to State CAMPA based on a review of their plans and programmes.
- Provide a mechanism to State CAMPA to resolve issues of an inter-state or Centre-State character.
More about
Structure
National CAMPA: Operates at the central level, overseeing the implementation of afforestation and other conservation activities across States/UTs.
State CAMPA: Each State/UTs has its own CAMPA to manage the funds and activities at the state level, ensuring localized implementation and monitoring.
Funding Mechanism
Collection of Funds: Funds are collected from entities that divert forest land for non-forest purposes. This includes compensatory afforestation funds, NPV and interest of forest land, and funds for catchment area treatment plans.
Utilization of Funds: These funds are then utilized for afforestation, reforestation, wildlife protection, infrastructure development for forest departments, and other related activities.
